CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-R. o. Foster, of
Minneapolis; A. M. Thompson, of st.
Paul; James Hart, of Milwaukee, and
G. W. Morton, of this city, met at Spald-
ing's this afternoon and discussed base
ball matters informally. The three
gentlemen first named are here in
anticipation of the meeting of the North
western Base Ball league which will be
held at the fremont house tomorrow.
The delegates who will answer roll call
are as follows: &C. Chase, Oshkosh;
E. B. Putnam, Eau Claire: J. Anderson,
Duluth; G. M. Sherman, Des MOines;
A. M. Thompson and John Barnes, st.
Paul; Mr.. Davis, La Crosse; r. o. Foster,
Minneapolis; James Hart, Milwaukee,
just what legislation, if any, will oc-
cupy the attention of the delegates
named is not given out. Wednes ay at
the fremont house. will occur the first
meeting of the Western Base Ball asso-
citation. The following delegates will
represent the cities named: Kansas
City, E. E. Menges; Omaha, Joseph
GGarneay; Des Moines, G; M. Sherman;
Won der Abe; Milwaukee, James Hart;
st. Paul, A. NJ. Thompson: Minneapo-
lis, r. o. Foster; Chicago, S. G. Morton.
The association will enter on
under most auspicious Conditions.
1t is understood that Lincoln, Neb.,
will ask to be permitted to come in and
that the claims of that city will be made
counter to those of st. Louis. When it
was first proposed to establish West
ern Association club in st. Louis, OBJ
lection was made to such location ON
the ground that Won der Abe would use
it as training school for the Browns
and would feel at liberty to call from it
tion betrayed weakness. Tom LOTUS
and Comiskey who, with Won
der Abe, are desirous of be
coming factors in the new association,
have given emphatic assurances that the
policy limited at will not be resorted to
under any circumstances. Oshkosh
would probably be glad to join the West
ern association. The city has a good
team, but her geographical position is
against her. There is some talk of
separate organization which shall i'll
clude these cities: Oshkosh, Eau
Claire, Milwaukee, st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis, Duluth, Davenport and one other
CITY,. Such an association would en-
threshold of its existence, and
it is extremely doubtful whether
it would survive a month
of playing existence. Milwaukee, st.
Paul and Minneapolis cannot support
two clubs. Hart, Foster, Thompson and
Barnes represent the most vital base
ball interests in the cities named, and
their managerial ability has been amply
demonstrated. Hart, Foster, Thompson
and their associates have decided to cast
in their lot with the Western associa-
ton. They have made wise choice.
The eight cities named will no doubt
give good account of themselves at the
close of the season of 1888.

A DubuQue Burglary.

DUBUQUE, To-, Oct 24.-Burglars en-
tered the residence of the late Hon. D.

who slept in an adjoining room, went
into her mothers apartment and found
her breathing with great difficulty. She
aroused Mrs. Wilson. whose room was
near by, and said her mamma was sick.
Mrs. Wilson haStened to her daughters
room, and the odor of chloform being
strong enough to almost strangle her,
she soon realized the situation. She
aroused the servants, and every effort
was made to restore Mrs. Brock. She
regalned her senses about an hour later.
She is still confined to her bed
and her condition is quite critical.
Inc visit from her daughter saved her
Ilfe. Had she been left undisturbed an
hour later she would have been beyOnd
the possibility of recovery. The rob-
bers had several hundred dollars of solid
Sllverware piled at the head Of the stairs
leading to the front hallway when Mrs.
Br0ck'S daughter awoke. She saw a
light in the hallway outside of her room,
and called to her grandmother, when
the light was promptly eXtinguished.
The burglars undoubtedly decamped at
once, leaving this valuable plumber and
escaping through a window in the front
hallway. How they effected an entrance
is unknown, but it is believed they en-
tered through the door leading to the
side porch, which was left open few
minutes Saturday night by Mrs. Wilson,
and Secreted themselves.
